Welcome to our Practice

What’s important to you when looking for a dentist? Of course, training and expertise are essential, but there are other qualities you probably want as well. You want to know that you will be cared for by friendly professionals who put your needs first. You want to find a dental home that makes you feel welcome from the moment you enter until you leave with a healthier smile.

At the office of Lance K. Skinkys, DDS, we deliver on all counts. We provide attentive personalized patient care to our friends and neighbors in Plainfield, Romeoville, Joliet, Sherwood, and the surrounding areas.

Skilled, Comprehensive Care

Dr. Skinkys completed a general practice residency in dentistry at Advocate Illinois Masonic Hospital in Lakeview. This hands-on experience gave Dr. Skinkys the opportunity to work with a variety of dental patients, including those with special needs and ongoing medical conditions.

We provide a wide range of comprehensive services, so it’s easy to arrange for all your family’s dental needs to be taken care of at one convenient location. At our Plainfield dental office, we offer everything from dental cleanings to cosmetic dentistry and dental implants. Our team is especially proud to care for special needs patients and those who are medically compromised. Our office is ADA-compliant, with convenient wheelchair access.

Old-Fashioned, Personalized Care

These days, it seems like everyone is so busy that it’s easy to lose sight of the little touches that make a day special. You have enough stress in your life, and managing your dental care shouldn’t be just another chore you have to endure.

It’s our goal to treat you like a member of our family because there’s nothing like seeing a familiar face when you arrive for your appointment. We want to get to know you so we can provide you with the type of high-quality dental treatment you deserve.

Our team is committed to putting your needs first, and we respect that your time is valuable. We don’t keep you waiting for appointments, and you will always receive our full attention. If you have an emergency, we’ve got you covered. In most cases, we will get you in the same day so you can get the relief you need as quickly as possible.

We’re Here to Help

Insurance and cost of treatments are a concern for everyone. We are a Cigna provider and a Premier Provider for Delta Dental. We work with most insurance plans and will be happy to verify your benefits when you arrive at our Plainfield dental office.

If you’re uninsured or would like to finance your out-of-pocket costs, we offer CareCredit financing for your convenience. Our reduced-fee dental membership plan offers two free cleanings and exams each year as well as discounts on certain services.

Dental care is important, but it doesn’t have to be serious or stuffy. If you don’t think visits to the dentist can actually be enjoyable, you need to give us a call!
